Happy Birthday Zbang !

20 years ago today, "Zbang", my favorite comics (and since recently - my job as well) was born.
In the Aug 18th 1987 issue of Maariv Lanoar magazine, appeared the story about Gal who got sunburned while being to nervous about hitting on a girl who'll later become Sigal - his girlfriend.
For 20 year, Uri Fink has engaged the minds of hormone driven teenagers like myself.
Happy Birthday Zbang !
May you have at least 20 more years of crazy, wacky, funny comics.

As you all might know, if you've read this blog you know i'm heading to GDC in two weeks.
This means - I'm finishing the Zbang demo THIS WEEK, which means i have about 24 hours to beta test it, and debug it.
If you want to try it now before I burn a few hundred copies of it to give to publishers send me an email now.
Issues with the WoW tyra banks clip

Watch and read
part 2:
1. Tyra banks (or Tyra banks'es researchers) are stupid.
She asks this girl who's boyfriend is a WoW addict :
"he's doing this with a video game . something that's just a computer. it's not real. how does it feel when he's choses that over you, a human ?"
World of warcraft isn't a video game. It's a social interaction tool. Just like skype or ICQ or A PHONE.
imaging 60 years ago someone would talk to his friend a lot with the phone. would 60's version of dumb Tyra ask "how does it feel when your boyfriend talks to the phone all the time ? it's just plastic and wires. It's not real ! how does it feel when your boyfriend chooses to talk to his friends on the phone over you, a human ?"
I'll tell you how it feels : it's feels like you're a moron.
2. destroying World of warcraft's installation CD's means nothing. NOTHING.
you still have the game installed on your PC.
You can always reinstall from new cd's, go to a friend's to play, or an internet cafe.
3. The psychologist is dumb too. He lets the fat girlfriend destroy most of the CD's instead of the addict. The whole "leap of faith" with destroying the CD's should be a step the addict is taking. Not the addicts freind. there's no point in your friend throwing away your heroine. It's YOU who has to do it.
4. Tyra banks tells the fat girlfreidn she's not fat. This is why americans have obesity, becuase the anorexis tyra-banks models tells the fat lady she's not fat. well, guess what fat lady, YOU'RE FAT !
Now back to real life, with real people, and not this computer blog thing. It's not real.

Hi Oded,
I love Zbeng since the "Maariv Lanohar" days...!
I'll be happy to talk with you but this is actually bad timing as I am extremely busy with the launch of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade on January 16th. I suggest that you'll ping me again towards the end of
the month and we can arrange a good time for us to talk.
Thanks,
